OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

If Fainu proves himself this year as the man at 5/8 a lot of the money will go to upgrading & extending him. I wouldn’t be surprised for a overpay, can’t afford to them both of them a year apart

Many don't matter, all that matters is Galvin, his family and his manager. If they don't believe that we are well set up for the next 5 years of his contract, they have every right to feel that way.

He clearly came here for a shot at first grade. They whole notion that he should repay us for our faith and stuff is BS. We would ask him to look elsewhere the moment his form dips. You can't expect one-way loyalty.

He's playing us for clowns and wants the circus, which damages the club, the motivation of other players and supporters. He's chucking a DCE, the most greedy player ever to play NRL.

Fans happy to try and force out average players, but any good player who wants to leave on their own is a traitor, a prick, and should be dropped to reserve grade!

As long as he performs well and doesn't rank games, can't be too mad at him.

Personally I think a lot of this is coming from his manager and his dad. Lachie doesn't seem switched on enough to have this all figured out for himself to be honest

I can only go on what has been talked about and quite frankly, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, the premise of not having anything to do with Isaac Moses remains. We shouldn't be involved with any player that has him as a manager because of things like this.

Wouldn't deal with Moses back when Tedesco went there
- Seemed to still work out OK for him?

Even got Teddy to dump his management eventually.

The real test will be teams chucking a million at him for 2027 when he will be getting paid maybe 400k or so for 2 years.

If he chucks a Ryan Matterson or Mitch Moses, the NRL needs to take the strictest of actions. I don't know what they can do, but I can't fathom tanking or wanting "out" of the contract for more money.

Why am I even defending Galvin?

I've been bagged for wanting to move him into the 2nd row by so many on here... 😀

I've always preferred Latu as a player.

I just want Latu to EARN his way in. Galvin's contract situation SHOULDN'T be why Latu is playing.

To be fair did Galvin earn his way in?
He was only called up because Latu was injured.

I forget who the storm winger was, it was on one of the shows the other week and apparently he was the worst trainer and didn't show much in reserve grade. But they were riddled with injuries and desperate, so they called him up to play first grade expecting the worst. He got his crack in First Grade and became one of their best wingers. The name completely escapes me, might have been a Fijian winger?

Every game Latu has played first grade he has been solid.

I recall the game at LO against manly and his first touch of the ball scored a try... again got injured that game...

But in the opportunity he has had, he's been great.

What else do you want from him?

Galvin coming from SG ball surely isn't "earning it" is it?

Yeah, that's just the way it is.
I will be a tigers fan for life, so I can label him whatever I want.
 
However you look at it, if he fills out he is a back-rower in the future. He still hasn't shown he is an elite 6, so a Million a season was about spot on, with contract changes for significant improvement. The smokey for me will be Penrith signing him. Richardson did the right thing

I wonder if he just doesn't rate benji as a coach?

if he doesn't he is going to be forced to play a much more structured game which takes away from his strengths.

he wouldn't go to the storm and get away with some of the sh1t he does with us. but it also takes away his flair and decreases his value.

the more this plays out if someone wants to pay him $1.5 million or more so be it, he isn't worth that much. We can thank the knights and dylan brown for this lol
 
Fainu strikes me as more of a natural ballplayer than Galvin. His touches are silky and he's shown he can run a good line. Key for him is managing his injuries.
